"Something else? What's your fave warplane? Vulcan Incredible aircraft " When I was a teenager, I was invited into the cockpit of a Vulcan by an ex pilot He took me and my friend through a simulated mission It was fascinating One thing that sticks in my mind is that they weren't built for survivability - if something went wrong, the chance of the crew getting out was minimal - the cockpit blew off so the flight crew had the best chance of survival - the guys 'below deck' however, were pretty much 'attrition' | |||

"Let's not forget the unsung Douglas DC-3 (or C-47 to give it it's military designator) Without this workhorse - some of which are still in commercial service to this day - the map of Europe may have looked very different" Did much of my early travelling on Dakotas. TB,TC,UD and YJ, all Jersey based. Much later went on a pleasure flight over London in one from Biggin Hill airshow but can't recall which it was,probably PO or PY workimg out of Coventry. Well worth the memory ride. | |||

"Anyway, back to the topic of Spitfires, my father flew one with 234 squadron defending Portsmouth and Southampton during August 1940 so my loyalty is lies with that aircraft. I see Spitfires almost daily at this time of the year, usually they come perving over Eureka's swimming pool, presumably using it as a landmark!" It is an iconic plane with a very distinct design Definitely in my top 3 for piston engined prop planes. Love the sound it makes! | |||

"And the daddy, the SR-71. But love the sheer purposefulness of an A10 thunderbolt. Love an Apache helicopter for the same reason. Have soft spot for C130 Hercules. Sorry but the Typhoon leaves me a bit cold. Don't know why. " Much the same here although my all time favourite is a Vulcan, I went to the Swansea air show the year before its final flight and the presence it had was unrivalled by the other aircraft, the noise it made as the pilot opened the taps up was haunting too.. I just wish I saw it with my own eyes rather than watching it through the camcorder as I tried to capture it.. | |||
